WINDOW.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 585,510, dated June 29,1897.

Application filed January 19,1897. Serial No. 619,784. (No model.) l

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHAELEs J. CLARKE, of Kingsburg, in the county ofFresno and State of California, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in lVindows; and I do hereby declare the following to be afull, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enableothers skilled in the art to which it pertains to make and use it,reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form part ofthis specification.

This invention relates to windows, and pertains more particularly tothat class in which the sashes are adapted to swing inward as well as toslide vertically, whereby they may be easily and safely cleaned, theparticular object of the present invention being to provide improveddetachable hinges for the sashes; to provide improved readily-removablebeads and bead-fastenings, whereby the sashes may be free to swing, andto provide improved connection between the weighted cords andsash-rails.

VThe invention consists in the novel features of -construction and inthe combination and arrangement of parts fully described hereinafter,and claimed, and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which-Figure l is a perspective view of a window frame and sashes providedwith my improvements, the sashes being shown swung outward inv solidlines and in position for vertical movement in dotted lines. Fig. 2 is across-sectional view on line 0c of Fig. l. Fig. 3 is a detail view ofone of the sash-hinges. Fig. 4 Ais a perspectiveview of one of the innerfaces of the frame. Fig. 5 is an elevation of the opposite face. Fig. 6is a detail view of a hinge of slightly-modied form. Figs. 7 and 8illustrate slightly-modified forms of securing the hinge andbead-fastening sockets in place. Fig. 9 illustrates the connection forthe weight-cord and sash. Figs. l0, 1l, and l2 illustrate in Vdetail thebead-fastenings.

A designates the window-frame, and B and and C the lower and uppersashes, respectively, which are adapted to slide therein in the usualmanner, the same being provided with weight-cords D. These cords aredetachably secured to the sash-rails, each cord carrying a pin E, formedwith a split eye E', which is contracted about and thereby secured tothe cord, the pin entering socket e of the sash when in operativeposition and adapted to engage socket c of frame A when the sashes areswung inward, as shown in Fig. l.

For removably securing the hinge-sections I provide Veach sash with twobushings F, the same being secured by screws through perforated lugs Fand each formed with a bayonet-slot f to receive hinge-pintles G, havinglugs G', which when turned to position in the sockets are securely held.Sockets H, of the same form as bushings F, are embedded in the casing toreceive the eye hinge-sections I, the latter being formed with lugs I',whereby they are held in place in the bayonet-slotted bushings, asdescribed, of the hinge-pintles and in which the latter turn. Thecasing-bushings for the lower sash are embedded in bead J, while thosefor the upper sash are in the back wall of the way in which the lowersash slides, thus being flushwith the surfaces and entirely out of theway.

I/Vhen not in use, the hinge-sections are simply removed, and one set ofhinges will answer for any number of windows iitted with the sockets.

The hinge-pintles may be bayonet-slotted instead of the bushings, asshownV at K, Fig. 6, the bushing in such construction being formed withthe internal lug K', about which the slotted pintle may move wheninserted. This modified connection applies as well to the eye-sectionsof the hinges as to the pintles. The bushings for the hinge-sections maybe secured in place by an overhanging screw, as at L, Fig. 7, instead offorming said bushings with perforated lugs to receive securing-screws.

. Bead M, inside of the lower sash, is formed in two sections by theoblique cut M', the lower portion being removable to permit the lowersash to swing. Owing to the form of cut the upper end of the lowersection wedges back of the lower end of the upper section and is furtherheld by being notched at its upper extremity to embrace the brad fm,driven horizontally into the casing at the j uncture of thebead-sections. The lower eX- ICO tremity of the bead is secured by screwN, which passes therethrough and into the bushing N' in the casing, thesocket being formed with internal lug fn, upon which the screw works.

The beads O, which separate the two sashes,

-are removably secured by the laterally-turning angular latches P, thebeads being grooved to embrace the latches, as shown at Q, whereby Whenturned down to position the a combination of bushing portions adapted tobe embedded in the window-frame and sash- .y rails with their outer endsflush with the latches are iiush with the bead -surfaces When the uppersash is to be swung, it is lowered in the frame and the hingesareapplied, and for convenience the bead O adjacent the free edge of thesash is out diagonally upward and backward, as shown at R, so that thelower bead-section may be removed to pass the swinging sash, the upperlatch Poccurring` at the point Where the bead is cnt,- so as to ovelapthe same, and thus hold both sections seeurely in place.

Bushings N may be perforated to receive a securing-screw, as at S, Fig.4,-oi1 it may be secured in the casing by an overhanging screw, as atS', Fig. 8.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, anddesire to secure by Letters Patent, is-V 1. The combination of elongatedbushings adapted to be embedded in the frame of a Window and also insashes, and a hinge having elongated pintles. adapted to be removablysecuredin said bushings, substantially as shown and described.

2. The combination of elongated bushings adapted to be embedded in theframe of a window and in the sashes, and independent but cooperatinghinge-sections having elongated pintles adapted to be remov-ablysecuredin said bushings, substantially as. shown and described.

3. In a hinge, the combination of a bushing part and a hinge part, oneof said parts being provided with a lug or nib, and the other part`formed with a bayonet-slot, where.- by when the parts are united thelug or nib and slot cooperate to hold the hinge part in place,substantially as shown and described.

4:. In a hinge for the purpose described, the

frame and rail surfaces, and hinge-sections removably secured in thebushings and coperating to swing the sashes laterally, substantially asshown and described.

5. Thecornbination of bushings adapted to be secured to the window-frameand sash rails, the hinge eyefsections, removably se'- enred in theframe-bushings, and the hinge 'pintles removably secured iin thesash=rai1 bushings and at` theirouter ends bent downward to engage theeye=sections in which they turn, substantially as shown and described.v

6. The combination of a window bead formed with the united vertical andtrans.- ve-rse depressions, and an angular latch secured to.the,window=fra1ne and adapted to turn in the transverse depression ofthe bead and its outer angular eind adapted to turn dow-n intheveirtieal bead'd-epression, sub,- stantially as shown and described.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence, of two,witnesses. g y
